      Verdict

      Eternal Gift has claims on his best form in France but finished nearer last than first on his debut for new connections. Soft ground winner Balady will also need to step up on her recent efforts if she's to figure while Light Zabeel, Brimstone Hill and Siouxperhero all seem to be treading water off their current marks. CLASSIC FALCON is the only one showing any progress at present as she bids for a hat-trick after wins at Lingfield and Windsor. All ground comes alike to Willie Haggas' filly and she gets the nod to go in again.
